N°26 - Life Stains Documentation Transition 01

A repaired piece of clothing, when repaired by hand, has eyes deciding what patch or technique adapt to this unique fault. These faults appear throughout life lived and are small, unplanned symbols of life presented through stains or holes. Each piece is handled in a ‘visible mending’ approach, which expresses the touch of something. This touch often manifests as resources added through working hands and materials, such as leftover fabric or thrifted threads. In that sense, the process is about repairing our relationships with our clothing and the prevailing production practices of the industry.
